How do we analyse and communicate Landscape Architecture designs? Join us to learn some simple drawing techniques that will enable you to communicate and analyse a landscape familiar to you.
How to analyse and draw a landscape
During this interactive session we will introduce some simple drawing techniques landscape architects use. Using a landscape you can see from your window - this may be your garden, a neighbour's garden, or the street - we want you to start considering how it is structured and what defines the space.
The session lead will then demonstrate how drawing a ‘section’ of the garden enables you to explore and present how the garden spaces are defined by different landscape elements; trees, walls, hedges etc. This exercise will enable participants to begin considering how landscape spaces and their different characters are shaped and how to communicate these differences through their drawings.
When: Tuesday 17th October 2023, 4pm - 5.15pm
